ship through the Caribbean and up the Amazon River with the New York
Theatre Guild; it was quite a trip, very enjoyable and informative.
Last October I flew to Madeira, by way of Lisbon, to see the island
I had heard so much abouttruly beautiful and quite modern, especially
Funchal, the capital. I really enjoyed the famous basket ride down the

school for children at a local Episcopal church, but it looks like Ill

by. Ive had the honor of being asked to join the regional legal-advisory
committee of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith. I also co-chaired

of Privacy Claims, at the April Conference on Computers, Privacy and
Freedom in San Francisco (Im not a litigatorstill primarily a tax
and business lawyerbut Ive been more and more involved in various
aspects of complex-litigation matters since I returned to law practice).

of a satirical article I wrote about bizarre aspects of the ineffectiveness

Sharon
Clahchischilliage SW91 was the top vote-getter at the New Mexico
Republican Partys State Convention earlier this year, assuring her
the GOP nomination for secretary of state. If successful in November,
she will be the first Native American elected to state-wide executive
office in New Mexico. She also will be the first Navajo to hold such
office anywhere, and may be the first Native American woman who grew
up on a reservation to occupy state executive office. For several years
she served as executive director of Navajo Nation and of the Urban Indian
Health Council. She had been nominated to be Commissioner of Native
American Affairs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
With a delay in the U.S. Senate, she withdrew her nomination and went
home to New Mexico. Fighting for Honest Elections is her campaign
theme, challenging the incumbent secretarys opposition to requiring
voters to show some proof of identity; the states scandal-plagued
election process drew scrutiny in the 2000 General Election. Sharons
Navajo namewhich means he who is left-handed and curly-haired,
a description of her grandfatherattracts a lot of attention; her campaign
uses a tag line, Just Call Me Sharon, which is what most people do.
A Web site is under construction (www.justcallmesharon.com),
and she can be reached by e-mail at <info@justcallmesharon.com>.

News, where, concerned for it to be socially inclusive and engaging
new audiences, he launched the radio station 5 Live, the Internet site

faced similar challenges, again within a limited budget (£21 million
a year in public funding), and responded imaginatively: in mid-December
a concert by Bj–rk, the Icelandic pop singer, sold out within four hours.
It was not a traditional house audience; most were there for the first
time, but it was a lively nightand generated a net profit. And in May
the Royal Ballets Romeo and Juliet was shown on a big screen
at Victoria Park in the East End.
